When looking into the rankings of our Centers, we have a few more names to the list. With 8 overall, that isn’t a ton but this is a position that will get syphoned from pretty much it’s entirety of their high school careers. But, that doesn’t mean it is without talent. Rocco Muratori still sits at the top as a 7-footer with some game but health will be interesting to follow for him. Langdon Hatton has really stepped up this Spring and looks spectacular so far.
Further down the list, we have been drawn to the play of guys like Adam O’Dell and Payton Sparks. O’Dell is a guy that really got back on track this spring and looks much more impactful around the rim. Sparks is a new name to the list and probably the guy that is going to make the biggest jump on this list because of his strength and mobility.
Overall, the 8 guys here provide possibilities for every level and some high-upside too. Players like Hatton, Thomas, and Sparks can be guys that can step up and possibly move positions or improve their stock the most over the coming months.
